Crowd less than 3,000. No chance!

SRU why do you continue to hide the real attendances? BBC report has more than 4000 which looked far more likely as that is the busiset Firhill has been this year for either the Warriors or Thistle.

The reported attendance is 100% correct. Why do so many people struggle with the concept that 2/3 of the seats filled in 2/3 of the stand results in an attendance of about 3000?

errr no the stand holds 6000 so 2/3rds is 4,000

um .. and 2/3 of 2/3 is? However, I still don't believe it, Ember. You seem definite... "100% correct".. so, I presume that you have inside information on this to confirm? Why did BBC report it as 4,887 .. very precise and very odd!

four ninth's = 1778 so still way out!! No reason to doubt official figure - surely it's just a matter of counting tickets? Or are people like hospitality not included?? BBC figure i'm sure is wrong.

Sorry!! 4/9th's of 6000 = 2667 so just about right!!

My question to Ember still "stands" .. how are you so sure that the stand was 2/3 full and... (of that 2/3 of the stand that was occupied) only 1 in 3 seats was occupied? Prove it if you are so confident!

. or was that 2 in 3 or 3 in 2 or what? ..and does anyone really care? (Maths wasn't my best subject either but I get by!)

Simple, I have eyes. TV coverage clearly shows both ends and the front few rows as empty (as usual). Consequently to get a crowd of 4000 every other seat would have to be occupied. They weren't. Thistle are accused of the same nonsense as well to the point that the chairman had to come out and make the very same point as I am making.

It's a tax ruse - understate the attendance and you might get away with paying less tax to the taxman... Osama Bin Hidin, CA. I thank you...

Does anyone else think Cusiter is vastly overrated?

Nope. Underrated if anything. His tackling is stunning. He won us the game against Munster with his tackling. The man is in a different class.

If this was 2004 you might have a point but this is the year two-thousand-and-nine and Cusiter is a classy player who makes all the right decisions. He is a complete scrum-half who we are lucky to have.

It's no coincidence that Glasgow have always loked worse when Custiter has gone off the pitch. Even wracked with flu Cusiter was massively better than McMillan in the Osperys match

So, that would be "No" then, nobody thinks he is vastly overrated.

I think we're lucky to have two stand-out players at scrum half for Scotland. I think Cusiter was ahead originally, Blair has edged it the last couple of years, and now Cusiter looks like the form man. Blair really does look low on confidence, and I don't think the Lions tour helped him at all.

The Autumn Internationals will be interesting - if Robinson really is picking on form, then he'll go for Cus over Blair, with Cusiter as captain.

On a positive note, back up to 4th in the table. Results elsewhere demonstrating there are few easy matches in this league. Also good to start getting players back from injury.

Cusiter has improved a lot - and his tackling is immense for a wee guy.
His decision making has been poor though and fairly recently - im sure it was in this year's six nations - cant remember the game - but at a pivotal point in the game when Scotland were behind but not dead and buried he took a tap kick inside Scotland's 22 and ran the ball instead of waiting for the kick to touch and gaining crucial territory - there was absolutely nothing on for him - he can be a wee bit hotheaded - but definitely an improved player - a good advert for playing abroad.

"but definitely an improved player - a good advert for playing abroad. Miles better than MacMillan - but given the choice I'd have Blair."

So Blair is an even better advert for playing at home...

Cusiter, a hard player, his mentor was Armstrong...

Cusiter is the best Scottish player and always has been.

But for Hadden and his Edinburgh bias he would have double the caps. Blair had a great short spell when bossed games for Edinburgh but has been poor since the New Year and how he became a Lion is a mystery.

The Ospreys game was over till Cusiter had to go off.

"Cusiter is the best Scottish player and always has been" ..current players, you mean or best current No 9? I think there were a few good ones before him!
Cusiter was outstanding in the Nations Cup in Romania for Scotland A. Unfortunate start for us. I don't think he has been able to show yet what he can do for Glasgow.

best current.

Bloody Hell, we,ve had some good scrum halves!He's behind Laidlaw, Armstrong, Redpath. Ahead of Hastie,Morgan, Lawsons, Blair and all others post 1966!

Perhaps he'll catch top 3 before career is over.

He still has time to be the "best ever"! (so long as we don't look back at others with those rose tinted glasses!). I look forward to him showing the best of his career with Glasgow!
